How Does This Ayurvedic Herb Supplement Improve Wellness?
CLINICAL AYURVEDIC REVIEW
16 fl oz Organic Sesame Oil. The most traditional of all oils used in Ayurveda, good for Vata and Kapha.
A massage therapist writes, "After doing Abhyanga every morning after dry brushing and hot shower, my skin felt incredibly moisturized. Being a massage therapist, I have used a myriad of different oils though, Sesame oil was never something I had thought to use for the skin. Its drag was long and smooth without leaving an oily mess or obnoxious residue that one may feel the need to wipe off. I noticed the smell to be thick, comforting and nourishing but was not overwhelming and probably unnoticeable to anyone around me. after the end of the day my legs and hands especially still felt moisturized. This is quite shocking to me as this time of year I have dry cracked skin on my hands and shins without fail. I haven't had any redness or flakiness since the second day of this practice. I'm tempted to use it on my scalp and hair as a deep conditioner. This is certainly something that I look forward to being a staple in my daily routine."
SUGGESTED USE
Apply warm before shower or as directed by your practitioner.
Functional Ayurveda helps you assess imbalances through 20 main biocharacteristics
(gunas).
Aggravating these characteristics weakens your body and causes imbalance.
By knowing which characteristics are habitually imbalanced in your body, you will be able to identify and correct imbalances before you get sick.
Every characteristic has an opposite which balances it (i.e. hot balances cold).
You restore balance by favoring diet and lifestyle choices that increase the opposite characteristic.
In Ayurveda, oily refers to anything moistening. More specifically, oily refers to building substances that increases fat, or are themselves fatty. For example, sugar is Oily.
Taste is used to sense the most basic properties and effects of food.
Each taste has a specific medicinal effect on your body.
Cravings for food with certain tastes indicate your body is craving specific medicinal results from food.
Taste is experienced on the tongue and represents your body's reaction to foods.
Sweet taste causes physical satisfaction and attraction whereas bitter taste causes discomfort and aversion.
Kapha should use less sweet taste while Vata and Pitta would benefit from using more sweet taste.
One of the first signs of illness is that your taste and appetite for food changes.
The six tastes are sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter, and astringent.
Do you crave foods with any of the tastes below?
According to the biocharacteristic theory of medicine,
people tend to get sick, over and over again, due to habitual causes and imbalances that are unique to the person.
Your body type summarizes this tendency, showing you the 'type' of conditions and imbalances that frequently challenge your health & wellness.
Using body type, you can also identify remedies likely to improve your strength and resiliency.
Your body type identifies physical and mental characteristics as well as your personal strengths and weaknesses.
The calculation of your body type is based on your medical history.
The 3 functional body types
(doshas),
are Catabolic (Vata), Metabolic (Pitta), and Anabolic (Kapha).
Catabolic individuals tend to break down body mass into energy. They are easily stimulated, hyperactive, underweight and dry.
Metabolic individuals tend to burn or use energy. They tend to be rosy-cheeked, easily irritated, focused, driven, and easily inflamed.
Anabolic individuals tend to store energy as body mass. If they store too much energy, they could gain weight easily and have congestion. Anabolic people tend to be stable and grounded.

I love all of the "oils" that I have ordered through Joyful Belly! I am Kasha and the Kasha Oil for me has been superb! I am anxious to try the sesame oil, when needed. Thank you so much Joyful Belly!
